Linux From Scratch - Version 7.4

Chapter 3. Packages and Patches

3.3. Needed
Patches

In addition to the packages, several patches are also required. These
patches correct any mistakes in the packages that should be fixed by
the maintainer. The patches also make small modifications to make the
packages easier to work with. The following patches will be needed to
build an LFS system:

In addition to the above required patches, there exist a number of
optional patches created by the LFS community. These optional patches
solve minor problems or enable functionality that is not enabled by
default. Feel free to peruse the patches database located at
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/
and acquire any additional patches to suit your system needs.
